I'm pretty shocked Horford chose Celtics over the Wizards.

I'm not, the Celtics look far closer to contending (not to mention their extra assets). I'd take Avery Bradley over Beal any day (a real stretch calling him an all-star). Wall is great but overall the Celtics work far better as a team and showed it last season. The East improved as well in 2015/16 and the wiz couldn't keep up. Boston'll be really scary with Horford anchoring them. And yeah Brad Stevens is light years ahead of Brooks in terms of coaching.

Tyler Johnson for 50 mill seems like a bit of a stretch. Was he that good on Miami?

So if this means what I think it means, barring an injury to Curry or Durant during the playoffs, how's any team supposed to beat GSW?

It would be ridiculous. You'd have three of the five best shooters in the nba on one team (I guess korver and reddick are the others).

Perhaps their only weakness could be depth if they have to trade guys to accommodate Durant and then fill out the roster on the cheap.

Think of how deadly the warriors were from range last year and then add Durant. Yikes.

Sadly if the Durant deal does go down my man bogues is gone

What the fuck Durant?

I guess it makes sense for him to go after rings, but still...

I don't think it works. Unless they changed the rules, there's still only one ball on the court.

I mean it kinda worked with a ballhog like WB so I don't see why it wouldnt in GSW's offense.

Pretty sure it'll be devastating... Klay is their 4th best player... how the hell do you guard them all once KD learns the system? Imagine all those wide open Barnes 3s in the playoffs being taken by Durant/Klay/Curry instead. Imagine how ridiculous their 'small' ball will be with durant at the 4.

I think its funny how KD is being compared to Lebron. The Cavs were nowhere hear as good as the Thunder was when Durant left. Lebron had to leave basically. Thunder could of easily still won if he stayed.

yea i mean obviously durant's numbers will take a hit but its exactly as the guy above said. They are removing their biggest weakness from this year's playoffs (barnes not being able to shoot at all, mediocre defender) and replacing with a way better shooter, still mediocre defender.

I have to see how the rest of their roster shakes out though. I had no idea they even had the money to do this. can they keep everyone except barnes/bogut?

I would say bogut is easily replacable a year or two ago but now its been decided centers are super valuable I guess. They will need to rely on a bad center/rookie signing? not sure how that works out.

I will wait until I see the final roster to see how stupid this team will be

From Durant's point of view, it's not a bad idea to case a ring with a stacked team for a year. He needed to sign a short team deal with someone to allow for a long term max deal next year.

Anyway, good riddance to Barnes. I hope he enjoys whatever hilariously large contract that the Mavs are supposed throwing his way. Bogut may be more replaceable than we think after his latest injury.

It's a legacy ruiner, even more than the decision was for Lebron. At least Lebrons Cleveland teams were actually shit. KD just admitted that even with ANOTHER TOP PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE ON HIS TEAM he isn't good enough to win.

I truly wish the league would just block this move for absolutely no real reason, this is disgusting.

Go Lebron I guess.

It's not fair to flame Durant, in my opinion. The man wants championships under his belt and he joined the team that would best ensure his chances of that happening. Anyone of you (I think, lol) would do the same including me.

Now then.....

Shawn Michaels super-kicks Marty Janetty on Brutus Beefcake's "Barber Shop" and "The Rockers" break up.

now that the biggest domino has fallen it'll be interesting to see how fast the rest of the dominoes fall.
